Synopsis: The Evil Dead (1983)
Synopis: Director Sam Raimi's first film has achieved legendary status since its 1981 release, and for good reason. Though perhaps not as widely seen as its two sequels, EVIL DEAD 2 and ARMY OF DARKNESS, THE EVIL DEAD is arguably the best of the three. It is the story of five college-age friends who travel to a cabin in rural Tennessee where the stumble upon the Book of the Dead, an ancient tome bound in human flesh and inked in blood. After unwittingly awakening the unspeakable terror told of in the book, each of the friends is transformed into the evil dead, one by one, except for Ash (Bruce Campbell). So, Ash is left with no other way to survive than to dismember the living corpses of his sister, girlfriend, and two of his friends. Shot on a shoestring budget, the film boasts some impressive camera work and extremely over the top gore effects as well as a sense of humor much more subtle than the tongue-in-cheek aesthetic of the two sequels.Features: The Evil Dead (1983)

Ya see folks this is one of my favorite movies of all time. So when I first got my DVD player I unfortunately bought the movie only edition from Anchor Bay. Good edition, but lacking in extras. A couple of months later this edition comes out and I finally have it. What kept me from buying it? The price is a little steep, but well worth it for the carnage and truly if you're a "Dead" fan like I am. One thing I did like better about Anchor Bay's version was it had far more chapter stops. Where this one only contains about 16. Anyway, loved the extras on this one. You get the same old theatrical trailer. You get 20 minutes of alternate takes, which I enjoyed and for only twenty minutes it really gives you a knack on how to shoot a low budget film. The commentary was great. Sam Raimi's was more serious and informational. Where Bruce Campbell's just made me flat out laugh, but I wish they had done one combined. Neither of these tracks came close to the gem Anchor Bay released on "Evil Dead 2" probably the best commentary track I've ever heard. I've said enough, buy this or I'll swallow your soul. I give this DVD a 9.5 out of 10. ...
